Benefits of GM Crops — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptGM plants have been useful in increasing crop yields, reduce post-harvest losses and make crops more tolerant of stresses. There are several GM crop plants with improved nutritional value of foods and reduced the reliance on chemical pesticides (pest-resistant crops).
Consider the following statements regarding genetically modified (GM) plants: 1. Genetic modification has helped crops tolerate abiotic stresses like cold, drought, salt, and heat. 2. GM plants increase dependence on chemical pesticides to protect against pests. 3. Golden rice is an example of a GM crop enriched with Vitamin A. 4. GM plants can reduce post-harvest losses and improve soil fertility by efficient mineral usage. 5. Genetic modification has no role in enhancing nutritional value of food.
